LASD - Affecting Factor Analysis using AHP Methodology

This supplementary document provides methodological support for the paper entitled “Lean-Agile Software Development: Affecting Factors and a Roadmap for Adoption” . The materials presented here are intended to enhance transparency, reproducibility, and methodological clarity of the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) employed in the study. The main paper applies AHP as a multi-criteria decision-making technique to prioritize factors influencing the adoption of Lean-Agile Software Development Methodology under the Technology–Organization–Environment (TOE) framework. Accordingly, this document consolidates: the AHP pairwise comparison questionnaire used to elicit expert judgments, an illustrative example of a pairwise comparison matrix, and a detailed explanation of the aggregation and consistency assessment procedures. These materials are provided to allow readers and future researchers to understand, evaluate, and replicate the methodological approach adopted in the study. No raw or identifiable expert data are disclosed; only illustrative and aggregated methodological information is shared in accordance with ethical research practices.
